The International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI) will host its 2015 Winter Implant Symposium in Orlando, Fla. The venue for this symposium will be the commodious Orlando World Center Marriott Hotel. The dates for the annual symposium are Jan. 22-24. The theme for this conference, as designed by Scientific Chair Dr. Avi Schetritt, is “Lessons Taught — Lessons Learned.”

The faculty includes the following international lecturers: Drs. Jeffrey Babushkin, Joseph Carpentieri, Gordon Christensen, Mohamed Sherine El Attar, Scott Ganz, Rick Ferguson, Larry Grillo, Joseph Kan, Dwayne Karateew, Bach Le, Alan Meltzer, Michael Moscovitch, Ady Palti, Michael Pikos, Mitra Sadrameli, Nigel Saynor, Gerard Scortecci, Marius Steigmann, Christian Stohler and international motivational speaker and retired professional hockey player Ryan Walter.

The educational objectives of this conference are many and varied. However, upon completion of this symposium, attendees will:

Discuss the evolution of root form implants from their introduction into the profession today.
Recognize impact of digital technologies on the practice of dentistry and dental education.
Learn an extra treatment modality that avoids extensive surgery, both with immediate and delayed loading.
Identify and discuss controversies in dental implants.
Review the management of difficult implant situations.
Understand how to achieve improved predictability for dental implant placement.
Explore clinical attributes of screw-retained vs. cement-retained provisionals.

Complementing the doctors’ program will be a two-and-a-half day program for staff members given by ICOI’s component, the Association of Dental Implant Auxiliaries (ADIA). The valuable training offered to the staff members has become a welcome addition to ICOI’s total continuing educational programs.

On Thursday morning, Jan. 22, delegates to this winter symposium should plan to attend one of several workshops that will be given by our sponsors, such as the hands-on course offered by Dr. Andrew Spector with platinum sponsor, MIS. This limited attendance course will focus on computer-guided implantology and CAD/CAM design.

Our gold sponsors for this event are Zest Anchors and Millennium Dental Technologies. The Zest Anchors course will feature Dr. Gordon Christensen who will lecture on simple, affordable and predictable treatment for edentulous patients.

Dr. Raymond Yukna and his sponsor, Millennium Dental Technologies, will focus on the LANAP and Nd:YAG laser for periodontitis and peri-implantitis.

Rounding out the pre-symposium workshop program will be silver sponsors, BioHorizons, DENTSPLY, OCO Biomedical and Salvin Dental Specialties. BioHorizons’ course will have Dr. Marius Steigmann discussing soft-tissue management of the thin biotype in the esthetic zone.

Dr. David Wong and DENTSPLY will give a comprehensive A-to-Z update on socket graft management and soft-tissue grafting concepts.

Dr. Charles Schlesinger will provide an introduction and hands-on placement of the OCO Biomedical implant system. Dr. John Russo’s hands-on workshop for Salvin Dental Specialties will deal with socket grafting for implant placement.

The ICOI has negotiated a very favorable high season hotel room rate at the World Center Marriott. Single and double room rates are only $199. International attendees will likely enjoy Marriott’s 18-hole championship golf course.

As expected with all that Orlando has to offer, including Walt Disney World, Epcot Center, Universal Studios and more, family member attendance is expected to be significant for this event.

Escape the winter cold. Come to warm Florida this January with ICOI. For more information on this event, visit ICOI’s website, www.icoi.org.
